| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding public perception of pharmacogenetic testing. Background: By predicting possible ineffectiveness or side-effects, pharmacogenetic testing enables selection of the most suitable drug according to a patient’s genetic make-up.There is immense potential in applying pharmacogenetics in clinical practice to implement individualised patient treatment. Objective: To evaluate the perception of pharmacogenetic testing among the general public in Malta. The focus was on basic attitudes towards pharmacogenetic testing, namely patient knowledge and willingness. |
